 * Symbol confirmed.svg more than 6 times expanded by nominator within 2 days of nomination, so new enough. At 17k this article is WAY more than long enough.  No NPOV issues found, article is written in neutral manner and presents viewpoints from several nationalities.  Each paragraph uses inline citations to superior sources.  No copyvios detected, either by Earwig (only match was article titles) or by myself.  I am approving the main hook, as I find it the most compelling.  The hook is within policy (less than 200 chars), in my opinion is interesting to a broad audience, is a neutral statement of fact, and is directly attributable to a source immediately subsequent to its statement within the article body (Gilliéron page 319).  QPQ complete.  No image to check against.  This is deserving and ready for main page exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:50, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
